Jack Black is set to play a schoolteacher for the second time in his career in the movie
Man-Witch. It's funny because he looks and acts most unlike any schoolteacher I have ever known. The first time was
School of Rock, which as far as those comedies go it wasn't terrible. And of course, you can't go wrong with
Richard Linklater, his writing and dialogue was too clever to make it uninteresting. The second time will see him star in
Man-Witch for
Old School and
Starsky and Hutch director
Todd Phillips says
Variety...
In the comedy, Black will play a schoolteacher who suddenly discovers he has witchlike abilities. Taken in by a coven, he is persuaded to attend a school for witches, only to discover that his classmates are all girls.
Phillips is not the kind of director who interests me in the least but I like Jack Black and when he's on his game, he can make me laugh like no other.
